Happy B'day!

I think Copts would more likely say 'through the intercessions of the Theotokos', have mercy..

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=8326.msg106235#msg106235 date=1252867717] Regardless, why do muslims force their faith on others for? And so what if Diocletion was into Greek statues?? Why did he feel the need on forcing his silly religion on oth…

I absolutely love St. Augustine's saying: “You have formed us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find rest in you." There is no real peace but with the true King of Peace, so when you find yourself troubled and worried about the f…

God's purpose for you is your salvation.. 'His desire is that all be saved..' (1 timothy 2:4) Always keep that in mind... 'All things work together for good for those who love God' (romans 8:28) So whatever God allows to happen to you, if you han…

May prayers of the Holy Theotokos and the Archangel Michael as well as all the saints be with you and may our kind and merciful Heavenly Father guide you in your ministry as well as your personal life, may His name be glorified!

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=8278.msg105681#msg105681 date=1251124218] [quote author=Godislove260 link=topic=8278.msg105679#msg105679 date=1251111428] Women in the Coptic Church are not permitted to receive the Communion while they are having t…

Women in the Coptic Church are not permitted to receive the Communion while they are having their monthly period, the reason for that is said to be: losing blood means also losing the Blood of Christ which is in our body (similarly in general people…

Hey Pi Onkh check out Psalm 73 verse 25 ;) the_least, there is this thing HH Pope Shenouda wrote on the 'How to behave in a discussion', it's in Arabic though.. here's the link: http://www.arabchurch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38138 (see number …

There are several things one should keep in mind here: Persecution implies a lot. Are Copts treated unfairly in many circumstances in their own country? Yes But they do they get killed when they walk down the streets? Do we get asked the question: …

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=8079.msg105256#msg105256 date=1249879356] i like history so ill give you some historical accounts of the existence of Christ outside of the Gospels. Josephus, who is jewish wrote about Christ in Antiquities of the Je…

I thought only Archdeacons are allowed to touch the cup where the Blood is held (not the actual blood) whereas with the Body you'd have to touch the actual body... I also thought this was only allowed in circumstances where the priest can't hold the…

In my opinion Coptic Christians won't worry themselves with such things because firstly if, God forbid, the Muslim Brotherhood should come to power the usage of the word Allah will be last thing on everyone's mind as the political, economical and cu…

thanks for sharing mikeforjesus I love this a lot: "But I say to you," the Lord says, "love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you." Why did he command these things? So that he might free you from hatred, s…

Dear Melchior, I don't quite understand what you're trying to reach by this discussion. There is no paradox in a person being both religious, loving his/her God AND nationalistic, loving his/her country. Using the Arabic language does not under…

Tasooni is coptic for 'my sister', this is how female servants in the church in Egypt are called...

In Egypt, evangilazation is forbidden by law.

I don't think a non-cultural church would be a good idea, but to the contrary: an all-cultural orthodox church... Culture and Religion are complementary to eachother, and can coexist, they are not enemies.. I love how we can share the same faith, y…

Epchoic nai nan, in our weakness we might know and realize that we are not strong enough to resist temptation when it comes to us, therefor, it may happen that when we apologize we know deep in our hearts that the same sin will repeat itself again.…

Why does God make us live life when he knows our future? Because God does not just create us in order for Him to watch what we do and judge us... He is not a distant Creator who creates people and then leaves them to figure out everything and just …

Taishory, I agree, Abouna Boules George is really one of the best people to give sermons God bless him, do you happen to know where he is? America?... gb

If I may add one little thing, I think one of the reasons the church seems to be (some people, clergy and laymen) growing stricter is the influence of some Muslims in Egypt. Some extremist Muslims take it upon themselves to try to make Christianity …

I think that we now are called upon to live by the Spirit, not the Law (in the OT sence..) There is no hallal or haram (clean or unclean) anymore, we are above that level of material and physical laws (to an extent at least)... I think as Christians…

I agree, being Christian has nothing to do with what it says on your ID (if you're coptic egyptian at least), or what you claim to be, or what building you pray in... It's about HOW YOU LIVE! If you claim you're christian and that you're proud of y…

What is the Augustinian view of grace? I was told grace was simply put: God giving Himself to us, what was St. Augustine's view? Thanks, Gb

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=6776.msg103574#msg103574 date=1243528036] Islam is a religion of the devil. [/quote] Would you say that of all non-Christian religions, or just Islam?
